New Study Links Soft Drinks to Pancreatic Cancer

A new study in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention has linked the regular consumption of sugary soft drinks to the development of pancreatic cancer. The study's authors found that individuals who consumed two or more soft drinks a week were at a statistically higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer.

Sugar-sweetened soft drinks and juices have a high glycemic load compared to other foods and beverages, and both of these drinks have been hypothesized as pancreatic cancer risk factors. However, the study found no statistically significant association between the consumption of juice and the risk of pancreatic cancer.
